tcl8.4 problem when install on Mac OSX10.5.8
Hi,
I was wondering if there any installation instructions. I downloaded the Mac OSX 10.5.8 version, unzipped it, moved it to Applications and changed the name to ShapeAnalysisTool, set the environment variable KWShapeAnalysis_Home to /Applications/ShapeAnalysisTool, and ensured that everything was executable. I type KWShapeAnalysisTool at the command line and get

Tcl_Init error: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
@TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ /Applications/lib/tcl8.4 /lib/tcl8.4 /Applications/library /library /tcl8.4.7/library @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@

Is there a missing library directory in the distribution? Or do I need to set some kind of additional variables? I have several tcl8.4 directories, although they are inside the lib directory of other software packages such as freesurfer, FSL, and Slicer.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mira

Hi Mira
I think you need to set the tcl directory to one that works with X11. I currently use the tcl installation as part of fink.
hope this helps

One more thing, in order to enable which tcl distribution to use, you may need to set the PATH accordingly (i.e. to have /sw/bin or any other place where tclsh is installed to be before the system tcl).
